According to the distributive property, 6 (5 + 3) =
A) 6 (5 + 3)
B) 6 (3 + 5)
C) 6 × 5 + 3
D) 6 × 5 + 6 × 3
I think it might be b.
JT the answer is
D- 6 x 5 + 6 x 3
nope, look up distributive property in your text or notes and look up examples
To solve this problem, we can apply the distributive property, which states that when a number is multiplied by a sum of two numbers, we can distribute the multiplication to each term inside the parentheses.
In this case, we have 6 multiplied by the sum of 5 and 3, which is (5 + 3).
Using the distributive property, we distribute the multiplication to each term inside the parentheses:
6 × 5 + 6 × 3
Simplifying this expression, we get:
30 + 18
Therefore, the correct answer is:
D) 6 × 5 + 6 × 3
